Is Taking a Knee Next?

 

Will you post this as an anonymous comment or as any way you think best on the Gina best side post? They are turning it into poor pitiful fat girl.

I have had a few calls and feel like it needs to be clarified again and again that the issue is not weight, it is not female vs male, it is a visual confirmation that some on the city council were rude and turned their backs on citizens that were speaking to them. What will we see next - taking a knee?

I think everyone needs to recognize and accept the origin and setting of that picture. I understand it was a council meeting with many people in attendance and citizens were speaking to the council.

Ms. Clark chose to turn her back to those citizens.

As an elected official, we are held to a standard of showing courtesy to our citizens and voters.

To the person who took this picture and chose to share it, I trust their intent was to stress that we should all put our best foot forward and show our best side to our guests whether or not we want to hear what they say. 

This is the role of a good elected official. Don't shoot the messenger or the message. Ms. Clark was disrespectful to the citizens as well as Ken Sockwell who also did not present his best side.
